Reunion Banquet


Last evening, there was a reunion banquet for Joe, me, and the teachers who participated in last year's NCUT project at ETSU. Wonderful to see everyone.

There were plans to repeat the project this year with another group of teachers. But the government has asked that any "nonessential" travel by university faculty be tabled for now so that resources can be directed to earthquake relief, which will take billions.
